German Open 2007, Braunschweig
Another great success for the Edinburgh Club's Sarah Clark and Euan Burton in preparation for the World Championships in Rio in September. Both players fought out of their weight divisions
in Germany, a first time for both of them at this International level.
It was a pleasant surprise to see how well they coped with the substantially bigger and stronger opponents. Euan gained a 5th place (u90kg) losing narrowly to Winston Gordon, the GB number one at this weight. Sarah proved herself again as a true contender by moving into one of the toughest weight categories and winning her Bronze medal fight with a one of the best throws of the day.
The players stayed on to take part in a training camp for the rest of the week. Along with Sarah and Euan other Edinburgh Club players in attendance were Matthew Purssey, James Millar, Sally Conway, Sarah Adlington, Allan MacDonald, Iain Feenan, Chris Sherrington and our Junior Judo coach David Millar.
